Would you work for Cookies & Beer?
 
I need a few guys to help me lift my tank off it's metal stand and down to the the floor. I pay in beer and my wife said she would make cookies! *laugh* This doesn't need to happen right away..but some time in the next few weeks as I finalized my cabinet design. So I need the tank moved so they can install them.

Regards
Robb

I'm really open as to when this can happen, I can pick a couple of dates just to get an idea as to when people might be available.

How about Sunday the 10th and if a weekday would work better, say the evening of the 13?

I appreciate the help all, let me know if you need a hand in return!

Joe Reefer 01-28-2008 06:41 PM

Southgate is good for me. Pick a date and I will bring Harvey too.

fencer 01-28-2008 06:41 PM

The 13th works for me

Parker 01-29-2008 03:29 AM

Why don't we go with the evening of the 13th say..7:30 - 8:00 ish.. Lets everyone get home, have dinner etc..

stevehunt668 01-29-2008 03:52 PM

13th works for me. Looking forward to a home made Cookie

Matt 01-29-2008 06:11 PM

I can help. PM me with details.

Parker 01-30-2008 02:02 AM

I'll send out a pm with the address etc..

I should warn you though, the beer is a case of Molson Golden I've had since the 80's *kidding*

WHAT!? :eek:

Joe Reefer 01-30-2008 02:31 PM

You know come to think of it. You haven't mentioned what size this tank is or how heavy it is going to be. :idea:

Parker 01-30-2008 04:28 PM

Whoops, sorry about that:

It's a 265 with 5/8 glass. I'm going to guess 800 lbs.

fencer 01-30-2008 04:35 PM

I am still in ....

JPeach 01-31-2008 01:59 AM

betcha wish you would have asked the weight BEFORE you agreed to do it ....

I'm pretty sure it won't be that big of deal.... considering four guys brought it in the house, down the stairs, over a stub wall and onto the stand. I think six guys will be able to pick it up move 3 feet and set it down without major issue, well as long as I give them the beer first and save the cookies till after! *laugh*

hmmm you might want to give them the beer after to, might not want any mistakes.....suction cups work great for moving a tank that size around!!

Parker 02-01-2008 03:56 PM

Some people may be having second thoughts on giving me a hand with the tank being a 265, sorry I didn't mention it sooner. It was not intentional. If you're still interesed in giving me a hand let me know. I think 6 people should be able to move it fairly easy.

Confirmed we have:

Myself
Fencer
Joe Reefer
Mark

Joe Reefer 02-01-2008 04:01 PM

+1

mark 02-01-2008 04:06 PM

+1 more. Just asking you send a reminder say the day before with your address.

Matt 02-01-2008 05:28 PM

I'm in if you need me.

J.Lloy 02-01-2008 05:33 PM

If you are in need of another pair of hands I can come in from the Grove

fencer 02-01-2008 07:13 PM

maybe we should have a reef meet?

stevehunt668 02-04-2008 04:16 PM

I'm still game for a laugh. What sort of cookies?

Hmm no idea.. I'll have to ask the better half! She did ask me if she should make little packages for everyone though.. I'm going to have to get my tank moved randomly so I can get more cookies around the house!

Parker 02-10-2008 07:57 PM

Matt 02-10-2008 09:59 PM

See you then.

fencer 02-10-2008 10:18 PM

Yep I will be there

mark 02-10-2008 11:17 PM

Still in.

Will you be having the suction holders/handles?

Parker 02-11-2008 12:01 AM

They won't work on my tank, it's a laminated tank to all the paynes (sp?) except the veiwing payne have a texture too them..hard to explain.

Joe Reefer 02-11-2008 04:23 PM

That works for me, a reminder post the day of would be great. I suck at remembering stuff.

stevehunt668 02-12-2008 03:08 AM

I'm really sorry but I have just discovered that my wife has double booked me so I won't be able to help out. Looking at the replies, it appears that there will be plenty of helping hands anyway. Once again - sorry!

Parker 02-13-2008 02:10 AM

I'm down one guy, a friend of mine can't make it..if anyone else is still able to help us out..let me know..

Parker 02-13-2008 05:33 PM

Tonights the big night, could use all the help we could get so if anyone is interesed there is plenty of beer and cookies!
